The history of Île Sainte-Hélène, home to one of Montreal's most emblematic monuments, the Biosphère, goes back more than 4,000 years! Kate Busch, a volunteer guide, will take you on a tour of Jean-Drapeau Park and the military installations found there.
Let's take this opportunity to mention that the Société du parc Jean-Drapeau and other partners, including Héritage Montréal , are currently working together to update the master plan for this important park, one of the city's first.
Héritage Montréal is particularly concerned about the future of Place des Nations, an exceptional space and highly symbolic site of Expo 67, which has long been abandoned. We hope that the ideation workshops in which we have participated will bear fruit and restore the Place des Nations to its architectural integrity and new meaning, as promised by the City and the Société du parc Jean-Drapeau.
Finally, the entire Jean-Drapeau Park will soon be integrated as a priority site on our H-MTL platform.
